Risk factors for venous thrombosis associated with peripherally inserted central venous catheters.
To evaluate the risk factors associated with an increased risk of symptomatic peripherally inserted central venous catheter (PICC)-related venous thrombosis. Retrospective analyses identified 2313 patients who received PICCs from 1 January 2012 to 31 December 2013.

متن کاملComputer Identification of Symptomatic Deep Venous Thrombosis Associated with Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters
Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) are considered a safe method to provide long-term antibiotic therapy, chemotherapy and nutrition support. Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is a complication that requires early PICC removal, may extend hospitalization and can result in pulmonary embolism. PICC insertion teams strive to understand risk factors and develop methods to prevent DVTs. Howev...
متن کاملIncidence of upper limb venous thrombosis associated with peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC).
The objective of this study was to prospectively determine the incidence of venous thrombosis (VT) in the upper limbs in patients with peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC). We prospectively investigated the incidence of VT in the upper limbs of 26 patients who had PICC inserted.

متن کاملVenous thrombosis associated with peripherally inserted central catheters: a retrospective analysis of the Cleveland Clinic experience.
Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) have become popular for long courses of intravenously administration of antibiotics. Although these devices are generally regarded as safe, thrombotic complications have been associated with their use. In a retrospective review, 51 (2.47%) of 2063 patients who had a PICC placed during 1994-1996 were found to have developed a total of 52 PICC-assoc...
متن کاملVenous Thrombosis Associated with Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters in Oncology Patients: A Single Institutional Experience
